Question regarding Deoxit products
So, looking at the Caig website, there is the following run-down on
three product lines: DeoxIT - Contact Cleaner & Rejuvenator - Brings Old Systems Back to Life! DeoxIT Gold (formerly ProGold) - Contact Conditioner & Protector - Maintains New System Performance! DeoxIT Shield (formerly PreservIT) - Contact Protector - Maintains New System Performance in Severe Environments! Okay, so the first of these, DeoxIT is the D5 stuff that everyone in here seems to use for cleaning purposes. I guess, then, that this is what I"m in need of. My question is this: what is this DeoxIT Power Booster that Radio Shack sells along w/DeoxIT Gold? Link below: http://www.radioshack.com/product/in...tPa ge=search Asking because, if it's the case that this Power Booster is the same product as the D5, I'd prefer to pick it up, rather than order it online. Thanks in advance for any insight provided w/regard to the above question... Junius |
Question regarding Deoxit products
The ad for "gold" indicates it should be used on
"gold, silver, rhodium, copper, bronze, nickel, etc." Basically, plated contacts. I suppose that it would not be good for potentiometers. That said, I just use the plain Deoxit on just about everything. The only other product I use is calilube (nopefully not renamed). junius wrote: So, looking at the Caig website, there is the following run-down on three product lines: DeoxIT - Contact Cleaner & Rejuvenator - Brings Old Systems Back to Life!

Junius Use the Red stuff to clean and rejuvenate; the Gold stuff at 1 year intervals (give or take) for subsequent maintenance. |

DeoxIT is some of the best stuff out there. dxAce Michigan USA Formerly known as Cramolin. I've made a lod of money squirting that stuff in the right places at the right time. |

dxAce Michigan USA Absolutely - it solved my scratchy pot problems on practically everything, lickety-split. Bruce Jensen |
Question regarding Deoxit products
I have some old radios that make that scratchy noise when I tune between
stations and some other old radios (and flashlights too) that have some battery corrosion that needs to be cleaned off. I will buy a can of Deoxit and do my own "expert review" of Deoxit. cuhulin |

So Caig cloned it and named it DeOxit. Cramolin is still made there, and I hear that you can get at foreign brand automotive suppliers, as it's the preferred cure for electrical problems in various German car lines.

Question regarding Deoxit products
A spoon full of Baking Soda in a glass of water works for stomach
indigestion.A spoon full (or two) in a cup of hot water works for getting battery acid off of auto batteries.A bowl of Baking Soda in the refrigerator works for keeping the regrigerator smelling ok.Bakng Soda is great for some food recipes.But,Baking Soda or White Vineger for removing battery corrosion from radios?,,,,, Forget It!,it doesn't work at all. I went to the food store this afternoon and then I stopped at a gas station to buy some gasoline for my lawn mower.By that time,I had forgotten all about going to the Radio Shack store for a can of Deoxit.It doesn't matter that much to me anyway,I am not in a hurry.Maybe next week,I might think about it,maybe never. cuhulin |
